Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

It wasn't until she turned her gaze to a large sign and translated it briefly that she finally had a definite reason to dampen Little Lychee's enthusiasm.

"Um... Little Lychee."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Xiao Ruoke?"

"Why are you calling me 'little' too...? No, it's nothing. I just wanted to say... you shouldn't go into the water, it's not safe."

"Huh?"

Little Lychee became more vigilant after hearing that it was unsafe.

She didn't intend to swim. Although she could swim and was a very good swimmer, there were so many people here, and she didn't want to change into her swimsuit. She only wanted to show her swimsuit pose to Brother Yuzhe, not to anyone else!

She just wanted to wade in the water on the riverbank; the water was so clear and bright, and she felt that walking in it would be very therapeutic.

Qin Ruoke's words dispelled her idea.

She pointed to a sign that was almost completely obscured by the crowd.

"The sign says that the water here is more than five meters deep. It looks shallow... I think it's just because we're far away, it's the angle, and the water is so clear that you can see right to the bottom. So... I suggest you don't take the risk, it's very dangerous."

"I understand, I understand! Then I won't go!"

"Ok?"

Qin Ruoke didn't expect Xiao Lizhi to be so sensible.

She actually agreed with me after I just said one sentence?

In Qin Ruoke's impression, Xiao Lizhi was more like a child, and it would probably take a lot of persuasion to get her to do something she liked. Who knew that she could get away with it with just one sentence?

Little Lychee will definitely understand. Xiao Ruoke is doing it for her own good. Even if she sits on the riverbank, there is still a risk of accidentally slipping into the water. If she really slips in, Brother Yuzhe will be worried.

Therefore, the wisest and most intelligent person would simply choose not to do anything risky!

The clever and wise little lychee is very proud of herself.

Yu Zhe was very satisfied with how obedient she was today, and turned around to give Xiao Lizhi a thumbs up.

Little Lychee responded with the same energetic gesture, then obediently sat on the rock, shaking her head and gazing at the seamless blend of water and sky on the river.

The others looked at each other, bewildered... what to say?

It's true that fools sometimes have good luck.

Little Lychee is a bit naive; she can make Yu Zhe happy even if she's just a little bit sensible.

That's an incredibly high starting point!

No~ Yu Zhe likes everyone the same.

Putting that aside for now, they were all eager to try, and they were looking for empty spots on the riverbank.

The river symbolizes everlasting love, and there are fireworks today. I hope I can get closer and make a wish before the fireworks stop!

Yu Zhe wasn't idle either. He looked around, searching for an empty seat, and also noticed a situation that felt very out of place.

You said this is a river that symbolizes love...

However, apart from those taking photos, there didn't seem to be many couples on the riverbank.

There were indeed some people making sincere prayers, but those people were clearly not couples; some were elderly people with young people, and some were young people with children.

This...this isn't right, is it?

Yu Zhe looked at Yang Qiuyun with suspicion, but Yang Qiuyun immediately pretended not to see it and whistled as she looked to the side.

She finished whistling and then said something as if urging someone on.

"Hey! Everyone? No need to find a spot, just make a wish here. Oh... these things are all about sincerity, as long as you can see the river, why bother squeezing into the crowd? It's pointless~ After you make your wish, we'll go back."

"Hold on."

Yu Zhe interrupted her and jumped off the rock.

"I'm going to ask about something first. You guys wait here."

"Xiao Yuzhe?! What nonsense are you asking? Don't waste our time! Everyone's tired!"

"Then they'll definitely go and find out what they need to find out."

After Yu Zhe finished speaking, he ran towards the crowd in small steps. From this angle, it seemed that he was talking to an old lady. Judging from her appearance and clothing, the old lady should be a local.

Soon, Yu Zhe politely nodded his thanks to the old lady and ran back.

Incidentally... he looked at Yang Qiuyun with a rather unfriendly gaze.

Yang Qiuyun tried to explain: "Well... it's not uncommon for some locals not to know much about their own customs."

"Some outsiders always think they know more about customs than the locals, while others may be deliberately making mistakes?"

"..."

Yu Zhe showed her no mercy and revealed the truth directly.

"I just asked, and this river is considered the mother river of this country. This atmosphere is most prominent in this city, so people usually pray to this river for filial piety from their children and good health from their elders. There is no romantic connotation associated with it."

Upon hearing this, Yun'er burst out laughing, and the others couldn't help but laugh as well.

I used to hear my brother Yuzhe say that Aunt Yang was a very despicable person, but I didn't quite believe it because Aunt Yang was clearly very gentle and upright.

As I got to know her better during the trip, I discovered that she really does have a childlike side.

They want their children to be filial, so they say this is a place to pray for love, and then everyone believes it and prays very devoutly.

After that, Aunt Yang reaped the benefits without any consequences. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it directly increased the chances of her children being filial to her.

After all, since we are loved by Brother Yuzhe, we will be considered his daughters from now on.

Yang Qiuyun is still trying to struggle.

"Maybe...it might have some other benefits too?"

"Nothing."

"Ugh... If you don't want to make a wish, then leave! We're not watching anymore!"

"Wait a minute?!"

Seeing that her mother was about to storm off in a huff, Yu Zhe quickly stopped her.

Yu Zhe didn't need to say it; Yu Che walked over and poked Yang Qiuyun's waist with his finger.

"I'm telling you... is it really necessary to lie like this? It's not like we don't want you to be healthy. Even if you told the truth, we would still come."

"Little Yuche... Waaah, I thought if I told the truth you wouldn't be interested in this place anymore..."

"After all, if your health collapses, who will help my brother and me manage the company? If my brother doesn't have time, how can I be happy? So it's really necessary to pray for your good health."

"Is that why?!"

Haha, it's quite fun to tease this scumbag woman once in a while?

It's definitely not just because of that.

You need to have more faith in your children.

2. I'll climb it myself!

So-called sincere prayer is nothing more than telling yourself what you most want to say in your heart and whispering it to yourself.

They might be praying for health, or for love.

Those who pray before this river of Chromie, whatever they may be dreaming of, are surely hoping for happiness and fulfillment.

Yu Zhe and his group stood in a row by the bamboo forest, a little away from the crowd, and quietly made their wishes to the river for a short ten seconds.

They are not superstitious; they believe that wishes must be earned through their own efforts.

But sometimes such spiritual sustenance is also very important; it's a great opportunity to release inner pressure and encourage oneself.

When Daiyu Zhe finished making her wish and looked up, she found that they were all still sitting there with their eyes closed.

Haha... No need for that. If you make such a long wish, even the gods won't be able to hear it all.

Lin Yin sat by the rocks, keeping watch over her surroundings. While checking the time, she casually remarked something.

"The fireworks display, is it almost at the last minute?"

"!"

This really works!

They all opened their eyes immediately.

The fireworks display lasts for half an hour. The first 29 minutes can get boring, but if you don't watch the last minute and wait until it ends, you don't know when you'll be able to watch it again!

Meanwhile, after opening their eyes and making a wish, the place becomes lively again.

"Sister Xiaomeng, Sister Xiaomeng? What did you wish for?" Little Lychee was very curious because she found that Xiaomeng was still keeping her eyes closed when she opened them, and she had just opened her eyes.

That's how strange monsters are.

Caught off guard by the question, Xiaomeng's blue hair trembled, and she shook her head awkwardly: "What... what else could it be? Isn't this just a prayer for my family's health? I... I just pray that my parents are healthy, and that everyone is safe and well, that's all..."

This is a lie.

The truth is, Xiaomeng used a lot

She quickly completed what she called her regular wish, and then began her own prayer time!

Waaah, I hope our love can last forever, I hope my body can grow and develop a bit more, and I hope Yu Zhe can look at me more often!

And then there's the recent stuff... I hope that getting married to Yu Zhe can happen soon, and that it won't be interrupted by external forces again.

God! Please!

Sincerity is key... Although the river symbolizes filial piety and good health, it might not be a bad idea to make wishes for things outside of that category?

Buying lottery tickets involves luck! What's wrong with making a wish?

Even though Xiaomeng made so many wishes, she couldn't possibly tell Xiaolizhi them all; she was too embarrassed to say...

Little Lychee actually believed it, and she laughed out loud with considerable pride.

"Haha, Sister Xiaomeng, you're really wasting your chance! Since you've already made a wish, why not make more? I'm different. I wished for my family's health and my aunt's health, and I also wished that Brother Yuzhe could hug me often! The kind of hug that's really comfortable!"

"Little lychees?!"
